2018 is rounding down and with it so are my energy levels. There’s been a lot on my plate this year with Reis away on deployment, then coming home, living between two cities, seeing Reis mostly on weekends, getting Finn into a day care program (he just started going two short days a week), and…

“Wow! I feel like I am talking to myself!” exclaimed Mimi from Mimi Must Try as I shared my blogging struggles, champagne in hand at the Treasury Casino’s Kity Bar. Any nerves were thrown out the window as I got to know other bloggers and found they were normal, down to earth and had the…
